Queenslanders can go online from Thursday to nominate a road as part of the State Government’s review of speed limits.

Transport Minister Scott Emerson invited public input to help safety engineers determine where speed limits may need to be lowered or raised.

"The purpose of this review is to apply consistent speed limits across the state to make roads safer for all road users," Mr Emerson said.

"We particularly want to hear concerns about roads with too many speed zone changes, or where there are not enough speed limit signs."

Mr Emerson said this will be the first major review of speed limits in Queensland since the introduction of mobile speed cameras in 1997.

"Currently reviews are conducted in different regions of the state, however this is the first time we’ve called for nominations as part of these reviews."

After all submissions are received, the Department of Transport and Main Roads will work with local councils to identify the top 100 roads. The review is expected to take about six months and the results will be published.
